Original language description

Introduction: Research aimed at analyzing accidents and creating a safe environment has recently developed as an important new area of research in the study of secondary consequences for individuals with disabilities, especially abroad. Alarge amount of injuries happens at school because school - age children spend a major part of their day at school. Research regarding injuries in the school environment among children with disabilities is limited to a few studies. The school, however, is an ideal environment for epidemiological studies. Methodology: The aim of the survey study is to provide an overview of the foreign empirical studies in the period 2000 - 2016 in the database Web of Science and Scopus which is dealing with injuries of children with a disability and participation and barriers in the school environment. Results: Significantly higher injury risk was found among individuals with a disability, compared with their peers without disability. We did not find an original study that could assess injury prevention programs targeted at individuals with disabilities. Conclusion: Future research is needed to develop a multidisciplinary evaluation of interventions to prevent injuries among children with disability. As revealed in those studies, children with disability represent a risk group in relation to accidents at school. The issue of injury prevention is a complex process that includes policies, procedures, and resources such as access to ergotherapy consultation, which could help with designing effective adaptations and strategies.
